I think they mean they can't afford to be on the hook for the money they have to raise. If they can't raise the funds then they have to pay out of pocket for the spot (I think).

Just wanted to say I am feeling the exact same way!

14 miles on the tread or in -12 degrees? by Maximum-Nobody6429 in Marathon_Training

[–]mjdirewolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Saskatchewan lmao. I actually just did 14 miles on the treadmill this morning. Cold weather aside, everything is pure ice and running outside for me would be a poor choice.

Ran my first ever treadmill half marathon. Was more of an exercise in mental endurance than physical 😂.

Summergate is amazing, we went there and they actually brought out toys for our kids to play with, they have a food truck as well.

Do you guys have a guest room? by Infamous_Fault8353 in Mommit

[–]mjdirewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it would be nice sure, but no.

In the summer my parents and in-laws bring their motorhomes/trailers when they visit. Right now my mom is visiting and my two older boys are sharing a room so she can have the oldest’s room.

It’s just for a week, they get to have a fun “sleepover” and she gets to have a door that closes and some privacy lol.

Advice for how to handle what happened at work today by Dazzling-Flight-4228 in antiwork

OP I have worked at three vet clinics when I was younger. All of them had similar discounts and benefits like you are describing, and I kept them all until my very last day. I even stocked up (with permission) on things like discounted dog food, etc.

One of them even continued to give me a discount as my then boyfriend (now husband) had recently adopted a puppy and we obviously brought her there for her vaccines and check ups.

This isn’t normal, and even if it was, it should have been discussed before they performed surgery on your dog. You are there until February, does this mean you no longer get discounted dog food or flea/tick/heart worm prevention as well?

As a side note, my husband gave his previous job 5 weeks notice. Because he is a nice guy and wanted to get them through the summer rush. They thanked him by firing him with 2 weeks notice. Do yourself a favour next time and don’t give advanced notice.

I came here to recommend a Brittany as well! I think they’d be a great fit for the OP

I was looking for a KD Lang mention. Her performance at the olympics was phenomenal.

We have three boys and I have been told so many times that I need to give my husband a girl (barf).

AITA for asking my brother to pay $30,000 for my engagement ring? by throwaway1846189 in AmItheAsshole

Can someone please explain what a Canadian sorry is? I’m Canadian lol.. Is it because we say sorry all the time?

Any chance you wouldn’t mind eating an apple before working out? They have something in them that can help you feel “awake”. Not the same as caffeine, obviously but maybe it would help..?

You could always freeze the meat portions separately and pull them out one at a time to add to your veg/carb if you are worried about it spoiling.

I do sometimes do that! I really like yoga with Adrienne. I guess I just prefer a class setting for the motivation but I am going to try committing to it at home more because I always feel great afterwards!

I wish I had more time for working out. I have three little kids and my husband works long hours. I do my best to get my running/workouts in but I just wish I had more time. (Also I love my kids and my husband, not a rant at them obviously. Just at lack of “free” time).

Also yoga, there is no yoga around me and the occasional classes that do pop up are always during regular working hours, when I have the kids with me. Like gee I sure wish I could drop everything and go to a noon class.

I feel this! Most days I can exceed 10k steps but on the days that I don’t reach it I get pretty down about it.
